VARIOUS answers have been made
to the question why the price of
stocks remains depressed and why
people do not send their money into
Wall street to give the market a
lift. R. G.. Dun & Co., in their
weekly review, make one suggestion
that may have more or less cheer
ing effect upon those who think this
is due to distrust or suspicion of the
stock market. They suggest that the
people are doing something else with
their money just now that prevents
them from investing it in stocks.
They say: IF the country has in
six months invested $500, 900, 900
in new buildings, 500, 900, 900 more
in developing Southern manufac-
lures and mines, besides cost of
buildings, and as much more in the
rest of the country, and 800, OO0,-
900 in new railroad building, it
cannot have an unlimited sum ready
to employ in lifting prices of securi-
ties" This seems reasonable, and is
doubtless one important factor in
the problem.

a statement prepared at the pension
Office, which contains good deal OF
interesting reading matter. The
statement shows that there are only
453 pensioners of this class on the
roll who have lost an arm at the
shoulder joint or leg at the hip
joint. The small number as COM
pared with the number of pension
ers in the other classes indicate how
few survive the amputation of an
entire limb. There is greater dan.
ger attendant upon the entire ampu-
tation of leg than an arm, for
there arc on the rolls only 10 pen
sioners who have lost leg at the hip
joint, while those who have lost an
arm at the shoulder joint number
443. They receive $45 per month.
There are 3,l05 pensioners who have
lost an arm above the elbow, and
2,64l who have lost leg above the
knee. Such pensioners are to re-
ceive a pension of $50 per month,
an increase of So. There are also
500 pensioners who have lost an
arm below the elbow, and 1,1S5
pensioners who have lost a leg oc-
low the knee. These pensioners are
to receive $50 per month, an increase
of Sc. The bill further provides
"that nothing contained in this act
shall be construed to repeal section
1899 of the revised statutes of the
United States, or to change the rate
of SIS per month therein mention
ed to be proportionately divided for
any degree of disability established,
for which section 1905 makes no
provision. The list of pensions
now paid shows that in the higher
grades the number of pensioners is
comparatively small. For instance
what is termed total disability, such
as the loss of both arms, both legs,
both hands. both feet, the sight of
both eyes, and insanity, the highest
pension is paid, namely $72 per
month. The number of pensioners
in these classes is as follows: Lost
both arms, 81; both legs, %; both
hands, z; both feet, 81; both eyes,
l-551; insanity, 100. There are only
two PERSONS who receive a higher
pension than SO per month, one OF
whom receives s75 per month and
the other 800, the latter being Gen.
eral Black, commissioner of pen
sions, who receives this pension by
special act of Congress. OF the
100000 and more pensioners now
on the rolls, the largest number,
G0,2GS receive 81 Per month; the
next highest number, 44,775, re-
ceiye IS per month. Then there are
"a, $50 pensioners who receive Sc
per month; &c, who receive 81
per month; Is, $50 who receive $12
per month; %, 020 who receive $24
per month; 9,207 who receive SIC
per month; 1927 who receive $50
per month; 4, 449 who receive SIG
per month, and 3,413 who receive
Sl4 per month. The grades of pen.
sioners run from ST per month to
800, and the above are classes
which contain the greatest number
of pensioners. In addition there are
S34 who receive $50 per month, and
there is one at $4S, one at $40, seven
at $45, one at $40.25, one at $42.
fourteen at $40, one at $3.50, one
at $3S.25, sixty-four at $3.50 and
thirty-six at $50.

WHAT Now.-Thousan OF
Young men and ladies have been
graduated at the various schools
this Summer, from the public high
school and academy all the way up
to Normal School, College and Uni
versity. What shall these do now.
TO many the language of Luke Is,
5 (last clause) can be applied.
Our advice is Don't wait for
something to turn up. Go and
turn up something. Don't walk
about under an umbrella with silk
gloves on your hands. Down with
the umbrella, off with the gloves,
roll up the shirt sleeves. Turn in,
pitch in. Make yourself useful,
even if on turnpike, breaking stones
or on the farm, or in the kitchen.
Don't be afraid or ashamed to work.
We need educated men and women
on the farm, in the workshop, in
the kitchen, in the dairy, every
where. An education is one of the
greatest blessings that young per-
son can have, but like an intricate
piece of machinery, it is useless
without the power of common sense
and application behind it to put in
to motion and practical use all its
parts.

A THIRD Party,

NEW YORK, April 1G The World this
morning says: "The heavy labor vote
cast at the local election in New Jersey
this week continues to demonstrate
that a new phase has appeared in AmerI-
can politics, which the leaders of the old
organization cannot ignore and which IS
bound to disturb their calculation. If a la
Dor candidate for president should be in
the field next year and be supported by the
voters in that state who are now in favor
Of separate party action, New Jersey
would probably be lost to the Democrats
Whether the labor movement will prove
to be a disintegrating force depends upon
the wisdom with which it is directed and
upon what the Democratic party shall
do between now and next year
The weakness of the labor party as q
permanent and growing power is that,
while it is animated by a common senti-
ment, it is not united in g common pur
pose or based upon fixed principle. 1t
might defeat the Democrats, but it has
not fixed policy of its own. If the
Democratic administration should begin
in earnest to met the ends for which it
was elected, and by an aggressive reform
policy and display Of genuine sympathy
with the Just and reasonable demands Of
the masses, prove the party to be the
friend Of the people and the champion Of
the poor, the third party demonstration
would shrink TO small proportions by
another year.
